Does Rake::PackageTask work on Windows?

My attempts to use it have failed so far.

Thanks,
Nick

Not out of the box on a One-Click-Installer install. It shells out to
programs tar and zip. If you install Cygwin and put the Cygwin bin
directory in your path it will work.

I have many unix utilities for Window if anyone would like. They do not
require cygwin or mingw. Just message me offlist and I'll send you the
zip file.

You can also get these and many more unix utilities from the GnuWin32
project on sourceforge:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/pac...

These are native win32 ports of unix utilities, so cygwin is not required.

No. You can look at any of my projects (Diff::LCS, etc.) to see an
alternative way to generate .tar.gz packages. I have not yet bothered
to make it a task to submit to Jim for inclusion in Rake.

If someone would like to put it together, I would be open to such a patch.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Is there any way to get an error message for sh failures in rake?

Thanks,
Nick
